France fined Google $56.8 million for violating the European Union’s data privacy laws. Considering Google’s size, the sum isn’t huge; Google’s parent company makes that much money in a day. (Google says it’s still studying the decision to decide how to proceed; read more from Bloomberg News.) Still, the decision from France’s CNIL data protection body is significant, partly because it’s seen as the first big fine under the General Data Privacy Regulation, or GDPR, and it shows the rules are being taken seriously.
